From Oxfam: Movie Helps Farmers Learn New "Language" to Grow More Rice

Movie Helps Farmers Learn New "Language" to Grow More Rice

Oxfam and its partner, the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture, or CEDAC, have produced a new instructional video on cutting-edge agriculture techniques. The new movie is called "Do You Speak SRI?" (That's "System of Rice Intensification" if you don’t!) It will teach Cambodian farmers new ways to farm and help them easily and effectively grow more rice to support their families.

It takes a different approach to the traditional educational movie, featuring real farmers rather than actors or scientists, sharing their own successes and telling their own stories about using the new practices.
